Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to convert 0.0004578, which is in decimal, to scientific notation, all we need to do in this case is to move our decimal point to the right till we arrive at the first number that is not a zero, and then eliminate all the zero.
In this case, we will have to move the decimal point 4 spaces to our right, which would mean our exponent would be negative. The number of decimal spaces we moved to our right would be the value of our exponent, which is -4 in this case.
Thus, we have:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
- 20 months
- $5500
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to work a problem like this. You have probably been taught to write equations for each of the payment amounts as a function of time, then equate those values to solve for the time that makes them equal.
at dealer 1, the total amount paid (y) will be a function of months (x):
y = 2500 +150x
at dealer 2, the corresponding equation is ...
y = 3000 +125x
These are equal when ...
y = y
2500 +150x = 3000 +125x
25x = 500 . . . . . . . . . subtract 125x +2500 from both sides
x = 500/25 = 20
The total paid will be the same after 20 months.
That amount is ...
y = 2500 +150(20) = 5500
$5500 will be paid to either dealer after 20 months.

The other way to work the problem is to "cut to the chase". The difference in down payment is made up at the rate of difference in monthly payments. So The number of monthly payments (x) required to equal the difference in down payments is ...
25x = 500 . . . . . . . . . you may recognize this equation from above
x = 500/25 = 20
